I’ve got Premier Sport 2 on my iptv but the schedule shows a Udinese friendly being shown.

Any ideas?

Oops! Found it.

Chances of the GP Mk II today?

It's on Premier Sports 1 apparently, i'll try and find a dodgy stream later, if i'm home.
https://www.live-footballontv.com/

I've been trying to see if I can upgrade my Sky package for the day. Will try to talk to someone when they all wake up. I'd like to watch (whatever way I can).

If I use Kodi for this, which addons will I need?

This may help

Best Add-on for Sky Sports on Kodi
Fusion is one of the best Kodi add-ons for sports lovers who love watching their favorite sports on Sky Sports. The add-on hardly ever misses out on anything that the channel broadcasts. The good thing about the add-on is that it provides exceptional streaming quality and is almost bug-free.
Here is how you can install Kodi add-on Fusion on your Kodi streaming player.

From the main screen of Kodi go to Add-ons > Settings
Select Add-ons option and click on Unknown Sources option to enable unknown sources
From the home screen, go to Settings > File Manager > Add Source and click None
Type http://fusion.tvaddons.co and click Done
Click the text box underneath “Enter a name for this media Source”, type Fusion and click OK
From the home screen click Add-ons, and then click the Add-on Browser Icon on the top left corner of the screen
Install from Zip File > Fusion > Kodi-repos > English > repository.leopold.x.x.x.zip
Now click Install from repository and then click Leopolds add-ons
Go to Video Add-ons and click Sky Sports Video
Click Install and wait for add-on enabled notification

I tried that, but Leopold is not coming up as an option, thanks anyway.

it is now Premier Sports 1, 2:45pm start. Swear it was prem 2 before...

anyway. Replay at 10pm on 2 if t you want to relive the high octane action later :)

For all those who are happy to watch on mobile rather than PC (you can get an Android emulator for PC if needed).

Install Modbro, its like an Android version of Kodi.

https://www.mobdro.bz/

Download it, run the app and put in the search Premier Sports 2(or 1)...bang away you go.

I tested it last night at it worked perfectly for me.

Much easier and stable than Kodi so far for me. I run it on PC with the Bluestacks emulator.

https://www.bluestacks.com/

Or open Bluestacks, search for Mobdro and download via the app and then run.

Simple, you can thank me later ;)

Shocking with technology.
I've been offered an iptv alternative which apparently shows everything including ppv. Is this the sort of streaming service that will show the game?

Possibly. Ask if they have Premier Sports (1 and 2 by the sounds of it) available as part of it.

I have been using SportMania as a IPTV service for years, find it a very good service,  only limitation I found is it don’t do any of the Ifollow games. 
Can anyone recommend any that do?  Otherwise I’ll continue to purchase via games direct from ifollow using VPN if not attending

Sportsmania still going? I thought that went to shit a couple of years back

Thanks, the issue we had with iptv was it kept buffering on either mobile network or home broadband which is very fast.
I've been told its because iptv only works on 1server but this alternative one uses 3 so less interruptions. Like I said neither of us are computer savy so unsure if this is just a sales tactic or genuine.

What VPN do you use??

ExpressVPN seems to work with ifollow, previously had IP Vanish but IFollow wouldn’t work through that so got a trial of Express VPN set it to Germany and could purchase a game.  Only used it on away games as always at the home ones.

I use ExpressVPN but it never worked on iFollow for me at all. Great for everything else though.

It did have some issues sometime back but I haven’t had any problems in last 18 months/  2 seasons, have updated to ultimatemania few months back for film channels etc.  Can’t complain for the price, but would look for an alternative if I could watch the Swindon ifollow games on.

Although hopefully available easily in the UK next year if we can’t attend

I've been using ARKVPN for ifollow for years. No issues.

I have no idea about IPTV though so it's £11.99 for me.

Presume no VPN will be needed next season. All games will be available to everyone to stream on a game by game basis or via a ST.

Thanks JJ this is working for me

No worries, share the wealth :)

I have already whatsapped it to my non-forum football buddies

For me it actually works better than Kodi, a lot less faffing around and more stable, even when running through an Android Emulator on PC.

Here’s how we line up




Trialist, Caddis, Baudry, Fryers, Hunt, Lyden, Grant, Doughty, Payne, DJ, Smith

Subs: Trialist, Palmer, Trialist, Twine, Curran, Reid, Giamattei, Haines, Trialist

#STFC


Strong looking starting 11!

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Efdp62LX0AEAFfa?format=jpg&name=large)

Coventry fielding a very stong starting line up with 2 new signings playing in Hamer (£1million signing) and Hillsner playing.

Hope not even on the bench must be carrying an injury.

So, we should get a bit of a hiding in this I guess? Really excited about watching this. Number 3 son has sorted Mr Venkman's magic and transferred it onto a big screen for me.

Got told by the wife to get the washing in if it rains while she's out - So I did so as soon as it started, just before she left. Apparently that wasn't 'proper rain' and I had to put it all back out for her! Well, I guess we won't get any 'proper rain' while the game is on even if there is a freak biblical mon-bloody-soon!  :bye:  >:( :smugfu:  :tvhappy:

Sounds great NMH!

And yes I am looking forward to this, and yes we will probably get a few goal defeats these are a huge step up from Nuneaton and Bristol Rovers.

Glad to have helped you get the PC sorted.

That’s probably our strongest XI right now, keeper aside.

Definately the strongest availble team, barring the keeper.

Another build happening in the next few days too (for his brother) - He's got the taste for it! Thank you!!  :clap: :clap:

Anytime NMH.

Not too fussed about the result, just hope the performance is good enough for Wellens and, most importantly, there are no injuries.

Enjoy, all those who will be watching.

Is it on premier 1 or 2? Live football tv currently showing italian stuff

Premier 1 at 2.45

Soccer Steams have a few links for those who want to just stream in a browser:

This one's working well for me:
http://hdstreams.club/hd/ch3.php (http://hdstreams.club/hd/ch3.php)

Haven't been this excited for a friendly in years!!

Today’s #STFC players on trial: Returning are goalkeeper Nathan Baxter (Chelsea) & defender Akin Odimayo (Reading) New: Goalkeeper Dillon Barnes (Colchester/QPR) and striker Tom Nichols (Exeter, Peterborough, Bristol Rovers)

Baxter in net. And the Reading boy is still around.

Other trialists: Goalkeeper Dillon Barnes (Colchester/QPR) and striker Tom Nichols (Exeter, Peterborough, Bristol Rovers)

Spot of commentary for those of us stuck at weddings wouldn’t go amiss.  ;)

The pitch look good.

Hamilton on provisional pole. hth

Stream Offline for me!

We couldn't afford Tom Nichols when he was at Exeter and Rovers fans were saying he couldn't hit a barn door so I'm not expecting much

New kit much smarter in real/tv life.

Change to the starting XI. No Friers. Odimayo alongside Frenchie.

This one works

https://sporetstream.com/swindon-town-vs-coventry-city/

Coventry look composed in knocking it around.

not much actual action to report

Caddis looking a bit chunky today

Looks like the goalkeeper has Bendas' shirt on

Really good tempo. Two good sides. Bakayoko will run Baudry all day.

 Competitive this

Thought Smith was through - offside

Good break. DJ to Payne. Good save.

Chance for Payne

Don’t think he was on the replay

Dodgy defending from us after caddis cocked up to give the corner.

unmarked header but thankfully into a crowd of players

McFazean free at back post from corner - cleared.

Caddis at least a stone over weight!

Grant looking competitive!

Good to see Grant still shithousung those free kicks

Caddis has had weight issues pre season multiple times before. Just his composition I guess?

Yeah, it's ok.
The very large pair of animated pneumatic bouncing breasts is taking up a fair proportion of the screen though.

Smith offside again from route one.

Then Smith fluffed a good chance. Took too long on the ball.

1-0 Smith. passed in from left by DJ and Smith's shot took deflection

Smith 1-0. Grant breaks it up, feeds DJ and Smith tucks it via a deflection from 14 yards.

Poor giveaway from Cov's POV - trap laid, Grant does what Grant does. Nice pick out from DJ. One touch, finish.

1-0 Smith!

You're a quicker typist than me PP!

So Caddis really has put the pounds on then.

Messy goal. Smith seems to have the first touch of a rapist. Ball bouncing off him. Bit lucky as shot going wide before hitting the defender and beating the keeper.

Coventry shot from way out - Wide, keeper had it covered

Haha! I have no animated breasts on mine, feel like I'm missing out!
Maybe you got unlucky with the ad you got - try with an ad blocker or a different browser?

have we switched to a back three to match Coventry?

caddis seems quite far forward

Good through ball from DJ to Smith.

Nope. Still 433.

DJ playing well. Smith plays off the shoulder and looks like he could be a good squad player

Is Donohue still about? Seems to have gone quiet on him.

I think he’s just to tired to get back.  :)

Shit. We look good going forward. Through balls the order of the day!

DJ misses a tap in from a Tyler cross. Offside anyway. Poor on both counts. Front 3 are flames, or something.

Good break. Payne looking lively.

DJ shoots wide. (Playing well. Looks strong and tricky)

Coventry fans already saying Grant is the best player on the pitch and just the sort of player they need.

HT.  1-0. Really good tempo for the first 35 and we grew into it.

RW should be very happy with that. Front 3 look lively and complement each other nicely. Odimayo and Baxter have done everything they need to do.

Only one who looks a little off it is Caddis.

I thought the distribution from baxter is on point. Pretty impressed with town

very encouraging, even if it is a friendly

Enjoyed that 1st half we more than matched Coventry all over the pitch, the keeper doesnt fill me with confiidence, poor distribution and doesnt come for crosses much, still early though.

I though Smith took his goal well and looks lively, very similar in style to Yates.

DJ, Grant and Payne all look a class above anything Coventry have.

Very happy with that performance so far. Caddis has porked up a bit.

I take it you mean their keeper - not ours?

1-0 HT

Baxter looks to cover angles well. One brace save. Played mostly outside 18 yards box. One only panicked and fluffed clearance.

DJ looks good.

Payne looked lovely.

Grant was up for it and was my MOM (first half)

Centre back from Reading looked calm. Seemed to play a bit deeper than Baudry.

Caddis involved lots but looks chunky.

Smith. Ummmm. Has an understanding with DJ already. Heavy touch and looked a bit laboured to me. But always in and around the right areas.

very enjoyable half.

no doubt Coventry started the more composed, but we created the better chances and grew into the game the longer it went on.

Dj, Payne and Smith all look to have something - played well together..

great to see Grant back. doing Grant things. Lyden and doughty quieter.

caddis off the pace, but Frenchie and the reading guy look decent.

Baxter took one cross and made a good save almost one on one.

one area of concern, we look terrible defending corners.

but as we know, the only thing you learn from pre-season is you can't really learn anything from pre-season

ps. what happened to Donohue?

Enjoy watching a match in which I have more than a passing interest

Dunno. I'm hoping he's a trialist in the 2nd half

With buffering the order of the day @ Burton Bradstock, I’d say I’m rather pleased with www hhh aaa tt iii ‘vv ee seen so ff aa rrrrr. Aaafffftttteerrrr    11100000. Minutes. All joking aside the movement is very fluid considering the circumstances. The score is irrelevant.    

...Drive boy dog boy
Dirty numb angel boy
In the doorway boy
She was a lipstick boy
She was a beautiful boy

(CG playing half time music .. why?!).

I think we're as follows:

Baxter; Caddis, Curran, Odinamayo, Hunt; Palmer, Iandolo (30?), Giamatti; Smith, Nicholls (16?), Trialist (20?)

Wouldn't want the Coventry keeper!

who is Bahamboula?!

#STFC Substitutions:

OFF: Baudry, Grant, Lyden, Payne, DJ
ON: Curran, Haines, Palmer, Bahamboula, Twine

🔴

Did I miss the Swindon subs being announced at HT?

Who has come on and gone off?

Who is the left wing tall black lad number 20?

Ah cheers Batch!

shit me..2-0

twine scores a thunderbolt

Wow what a goal from Twine!

Wonder goal by Twine!!! 2-0

Golazo Twine.

35 yards top corner.

Blimey

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dylan_Bahamboula

Scott Twine

I take it that's number 20? A big ole unit!

ta.

must have missed him arriving

Smith just wide

Nearly 3rd goal from Smith 20 yarder inches wide.

caddis drags one wide

Ooooh! Smith wide from outside the box.

Caddis wide

Cheers Bob, that's working great...

Ooh, a spell in Russia.  In a place that only ever usually gets mentioned auth reference to the revolutions.

Looks alright so far, straight from the Yaya Toure school of ‘relaxed’ playing style.

And he has played for the "Um Bongo" team at national level!

The centre of defence still give me the willies when the ball is played into our box.

Loads of subs coming on.

more changes..

New keeper on

#STFC Substitutions:

OFF: Baxter, Caddis, Hunt, Smith
ON: Barnes, Reid, Giamattei, Holland

🔴

I liked the look of Baxter.

No idea who has come on now!

That should have been 3, great cross.

close again from town.

twine heading wide after deep cross. seemed to be in two minds to hit the target or square it

Nearly a 3rd

No.25 looks like Jerry Yates!

Trialist keeper. Under contract at QPR.

Cheers.

Where is Donohue?

We've lost a lot of impetus after the changes.

So, youth team plus triallists on now.

Godden blasted over. Coventry all over us now.

asked that earlier. nobody knows!

Not a single starter on the pitch now so not surprising, could even argue that other than Palmer and the Reading lad none if the others will even be in a normal match day 18.

always going to be difficult with some many youngsters and trialists.

the first 60 we were good, and that'll do me

Swindon have David James in goal.

As Batch says the first 60 mins we bossed the match in every position, thats good enough for me no matter what the final score.

Yes. I thought he replaced Frank Talia too

Decent block by Barnes.

Coventry missed a sitter there

Yeah very similar!

Awful miss by Coventry just the keeper to beat, he almost beat the Stratton Bank clock!

bahamboula does a trialist shuffle into trouble when we had a man free and on goal

Bad decision by Bahamboo when almost on goal, like the look of him though.

twiney with a free kick that tests the keeper

Bambi too greedy

Great FK by Twine from 35 yard free kick, well saved.

Coventry keeper this half far better than 1st half.

Long range shot from Twine, saved by the keeper.

nearly the kiss of death...

I like the look of their keeper this half, I would be happy with his as backup.

Who is our number 30?

They just showed Donohue and Hope in the stand

Good save by Barnes.

Penalty to them.

Our keeper makes a save!

2-1

Curran gives away a penalty. Not impressed with him.

2-1

Luke Haines I think.

2-1. Pen. Curran rolled in the box then brings down his man.

Yeah 30 is Luke Haines.

Good save by the keeper again Barnes.

Another save.

Result is largely irrelevant but a win would be nice, some good performances today by Town players.

FT 2-1 decent Town performance, Coventry could struggle on that showing in the Championship, they showed very little.

Enjoyed that.

Well, liked the look of the starting 11, 2nd half obv was a bit hit and miss, not really impressed with some of the trialists, some of our younger members of the squad doesn't  me with much confidence either

Lots to be positive about

Goalkeeper made 3 save. One good positioning, one a bit flappy and the other showed good reach. Did well.

Odin-whatever. Played well for the whole 90 mins.

Twine was shooting from everywhere. Got bundled off the ball lots as still looks too slight.

The rest didn't really stand out for me.

Was that Adi Viveash I saw on the side line behind Robins?

Only saw the second half and the only ones with any chance of being in the match day squad on the opening day would be Twine, Palmer and possibly no.5. Purely based on what I saw...

So good to actually see a game involving STFC though...

Yes he is asst manager

Yes mate hes been Robbins assistant for a while there now.

I thought the keeper in the 2nd half parried his saves. All it would take is a sharp fit striker and he would have been in.

Palmer? Nice blue boots. Didn't see much else that was particularly good. Might be better amongst the first reamers though.

Coventry fans on their forum saying we looked easily the better side and how good a prospect Twine looks.

One was a full stretch palm, which I thought was a good save. There was one flappy one. The first was a catch which he made look easy because his positioning was right.

I thought the 2nd half keeper looked ok for backup for L1. Didn't embarress himself at all, hes better than Moore and RCC were by a county mile. Has potential.

Anything after 60 minutes it's a tough thing to judge.

good to get the youngsters out there and see them though.

not much to add re trialists. #20 bambi looked a bit gangly, Nichols looked benyonesque, baxter and ooooohm looked good.

very difficult for trialists to impress I Grant you

I rekon Twine will be pushing for a starting place on that performance.

I wonder if it will mean 1 less attacker Wellens will want to sign.

RCC looked very good for his first 6 games or so. it's so hard to judge them in such a short time.

I think it’ll be more a case of hopefully helping him find a loan a level or 2 above Chippenham for once.

You think? I just remember him being shocking and dropping catches all the time. Memory may fail me though.

Come on, he never looked decent. He was poor at the very basics from day one, he couldn’t catch the ball cleanly and didn’t even dive for a lot of the goals that went in.

I remember RCC being very decent to begin with. Then I think he made a mistake and his confidence was shot after that

that's how I remember it . certainly in the league anyway

after that drop at Lincoln he was dogshit. we can all agree on that at least

RCC saved a penalty on his debut at Cheltenham but was awful for the 2 conceded, also at fault in his 3rd game vs Lincoln, another defeat at home.

He is probably the worst keeper I have ever seen at Swindon, but thats just my opinion.

http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?Tab=Video&MatchID=20180112

http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?Tab=Video&MatchID=20180114

Nope he still looked shit in those, some terrible keeping.

Watch his flap vs Lincoln, and that was 2 of his first 3 games.

Opinions on keepers seem to range more widely than for any other type of player. Most keepers probably save about 90% of the same shots, it’s the extra 10% that makes the difference. The shots you don’t expect them to save, the distribution and dealing with crosses. RCC in his first few games saved the 90% without any obvious clangers so some interpret that as decent but he was always very suspect with crosses and when a keeper can’t do something as basic as catch a ball 1st time on a regular basis you know there’s something fundamentally wrong, much like the amount of times he didn’t even bother diving.

Yep.

Very much this, its not always what you save its what you don't but should.

If we start with that first 11 I’ll be more than happy. Baxter looks a find. Great distribution and safe hands. Caddis’ fitness will come. Payne looks like everything isgrove wants to be. Smith will get 20 +
DJ is such a huge signing for us.
Palmer and twine looked the only decent subs.
Going up as champions

I've just tried to make streamable work, so this should be the highlights with any luck.

https://streamable.com/e3m2f5

Sell him quick!

To quote a cricketing term, RCC had hard hands which is terrible for a professional level keeper, the ball bounced off him rather than getting smothered.

Hopefully we can find a league 2 club to take him on loan and prove himself at that level. Looking at our front 3 and players Wellens will like be after he’s not going to get a look in here.

I think in the National league he would be amazing, a loan to L2 would be good if we could find a team that would take him, get him up to speed by January, at Swindon hes a decent backup but he is unlikely to start in front of Hope, Smith, DJ or Payne....and thats before we sign anyone else.

Its obvious he has potential he needs game time now.

Ditto. At this level, even though it is the lower end of the EFL pyramid, confidence is a massive part of these players psychological make up. Skill training et also but you could be the best goalie in the world, fuck up and then you’re shite there after. Small margins.

First competition victory of the season.  Winners of the PPG Champions Cup!!

Well, based on that we can be fairly positive we won’t get relegated!

For everyone asking about Donohue....

He was at the game, sat in the stands in a training jacket. Showed on tv talking to grant in second half for a split second

thanks!

Yay. 🏆🎖🍾🍾 Yay, Bridport here we go. Red army (Not this one Raul🇨🇳)

Oh my Lord, I think you’re right.

Much appreciated, BS.

Grant won't be credited with the "assist" but was typically cool in firstly winning the ball and then delivering the right ball without fuss for the first goal.  Curran looked like he had lead in his boots for the pen.  Very good efforts by Twine. :clap:

I thought Grant was immense in the first half.

Not sure if it's your thing but there is good thai restaurant in Bridport.  You can also get a good pint in  The Pursuit of Hoppiness.

It was great to see some football but it also served as a reminder of what we are missing. Personally, I don't think you can read too much into pre season friendlies. 

Talk of the Town

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08nrbbz

- Excellent first half. 'Good shape'.
- DJ and Payne looked a threat.
- Second half. Young lads aren't ready yet.
- Twine was excellent.
- Underbelly is weak and we need help.
- 'I want to get people in now' - 'We need 6 or 7'.
- In Manchester Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday (more minutes).
- Man Utd U23 and then 2 non-league teams.

- Matt Smith is signed and in training from Monday.
- Might need one more defender (Fryers pulled up and Conry and Broadbrent fitness rambles on)
- Akin raw but a good bit of business for the club.
- Zeki is nothing severe (groin) should be back on Monday.
- Kaiyne Woolery and Lloyd Isgrove - no updates - Club need to be proactive.
- Steven Benda - Slight improvement.
- Impressed by Nathan Baxter. Make a decision on Dillon soon.
- Reeves and Waite gone.
- Nichols did alright - we need to see more but we need a goalscoring number 9.
- Dylan Bahamboula - difficult to judge within the second half team.
- Hope and Iandolo both injured (both hip) - neither serious.
- 2 gks - replacements for Isgrove and Woolery (if they go) plus Yates and Doyle.
- Sounds like Rose is done as Smith was the replacement.
- Cameron McGilp is still at Swindon but agent is actively looking elsewhere.

Let's claim what we can.   8)

You forgot about what Scott Twine is like after a 'half a shandy'!

Regular to the area for the last ten years thanks. #Avoidthehive

28/1 to win L1.

10/1 to get promoted.

Both Skybet.

Will be having some of that !!!.

For those who didnt see the game its being repeated on Freesports at 9pm this evening.

I think it is on freeview?

Looked up our odds for next season we are 33/1 with Bet365 and 10/1 to be promoted.
After having a few bob at 20/1 each way last season, I do back them every year, I think the 10/1 to go up is tempting.
Sunderland 7/1 Favourites, shows how open the division is this year.

Don't think I've ever seen so many posts on a pre season friendly,   good vibes all round.   COYR COYR

The lack of any football for some time may have had an impact on this

Same here,  do it every season,  wasn't going to do it last season as had very little confidence in the squad, but thought yeah you just know what will happen - Best £20 I've spent for a long time !!!,   thought 28s this season was a good price from Skybet but glad I've not got around to taking it yet,  can't see me getting a better price really but will have a scout around and let you know if I find anything better.

Match is being repeated on Freesports tonight at 9.30pm (channel 64 on Freeview) if anyone didn't catch it yesterday

https://www.freesports.tv/tv-schedule.html

And the fact it was on the telly.

Bedford, do you not read posts? Pete Burns beat you to it hours before.

Thank you for the link Bedford Red

Cheers Bedford. Shame no-one mentioned it before.

Just tell them to fuck off Bedford 😉...bunch of cunts the lot of them...

That is being generous.

There's some good posters on here but also a little clique who think they own it

Fun Fact: Bahamboula is the Birmingham Bamboo ;)

 :sherlock:

😱

you're barred. it's my forum and I'm going home if Jimmy is still here.

;)

We already have a clique thread, the politics one  :)

I enjoyed the way we played, particularly in the first half, and Wellens should be given credit for coaching, that imo.  Feeling optimistic about next season.

I enjoyed it too. It was interesting to see the understanding that the front 3 seemed to have too. But, I guess we should caution that perhaps Coventry weren't trying that hard? It took us 10-15 mins to settle into the game, but Coventry didn't seem overly up for it. Having said that, I suspect that Robins gave them a rollicking after the game for losing. Also, if we play like that all year, we will do well. Especially if we have more to come in!

Yep still here

Arent we playing away friendlies against Man Utd U23s and 2 NW based non league teams this week?

Maybe one would be today if they are being spread over the week? The club are not publicising the games very much to stop fans trying to attend them apparently.

Utd u23s is today.

Cheers.

Just maybe with Mr. Wellens connections we may be taking a look at some of their players with a view to boosting our squad 😉

I was thinking similar, and with Wellens junior at the club maybe he will have an insight into some decent youngsters.

Nah Wellens probably just wants an excuse to take his lad out for tea!  ;)

Can't be bothered to look, but was Wellens there at the same time of OGS? Plus any idea who else they are playing in the north west?

Also likely and have a few nights in his own bed while the players stay in a hotel!

he claimed he was staying in the hotel, then added 'which might be in sight of my house' :)

So basically is he just popping home for a bit of hows your father?!

Weren't we linked to a couple last season when we played them at the CG?

All Wellens said during the last TOTT was that they were both non-league sides. Games on Thursday and Saturday.

Ta, I won't bother popping out with the binoculars then!

any idea of today's KO time?

Not so far.

ta

Any news from the Mancs?

MUTV will be showing highlights from selected U23 friendlies. Not said when.

Game could have already been played for all I know.

Nothing on the u23 page of their website other than some basic blurb.

How tin-pot!

I had a look at their Twitter feed.

Jeez, it’s like our FB lot on speed!

Man Utd requested no media coverage, total blackout.

Cunts.

Really? thats a weird one.

Does that include the result?

Who could they have playing that warrants a black out. Messi?

Someone tweeted the media guy

Media black-out, well you’d not want the world to know that your heavily financed u23 have been spanked to nil by, ahem ‘lowly’ Swindon Town would you?

Watched a fair bit of the Blackpoo v Barrow friendly on yotube, the whole game is still on there.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DRcFUv8joM

Barrow looked the better footballing side for a lot of the game that I saw, Pools won 2-1 but Barrow looked at least as good as them. I see little to worry about at the moment in them.

Edit: video not available now.

Ah! The Bristol Rovers defence.

ffs. Just make the score up and tag them in it. That'll piss them off.

Tbh, you wouldn’t really know there’s a game on at all.

Weird.

You’ll have to help me out with that one.

They never announced who played when we beat them 3-1 the other day.

Oh I see, said the blind man to his deaf and blind daughter who couldn’t see at all. We may have to get used to that this season.

We won 2-0 apparently.

Yay.

This can only mean that we are definitely going up. As champions. Again.

Am liking the ‘0’ bit.

I’ve forgotten already, but was it Nuneaton we beat 8-0 last week?

If so, at half time they are drawing 1-1 with the other STFC.

Also Twine Time continues..... Apparently.

Payne and Twine

Regarding the media blackout, it could have been requested by us to them to you. I expect most of the Man U u23 ought to be well known? I mean I have no idea who their last seasons squad contained no more than who this seasons one does. But those ITK would, bar a few recruits from outside maybe. Our mob on the other hand may have had some trialists who could be very surprising to the football world particularly EFL League 1. Just random thoughts while my cheese and tomato panini cools down from molten to something tolerable.

Red Red Twine

it's a fair point LL, but not something I've come across in pre season from us before.

I remember we played Gary Alexander an assumed name to their the scent off once.  that worked .. nobody poached him :)

How long does Twine have left on his contract? He could well be a good prospect!

Just under a 1yr. Signed a 2.5yr deal after the Jan 2019 Transfer Window. Exp: July 2021.
